In what can be described as a heinous act, a yet-to-be-identified person has reportedly raped a two-year-old girl to death.

The incident was said to have occurred in Ningi, headquarters of Ningi LGA of Bauchi.

The disclosure of the ugly and unfortunate incident was made by the State Police Command in a press statement signed and issued to Journalists by the Command PPRO, SP Ahmed Wakili.

He narrated that, “On November 5, 2024, an incident was reported to the Ningi Police Divisional Headquarters that a motionless body of two-year-old baby was found beside a Mosque on Deneva Street, Ningi LGA, with suspected signs of rape.”

“Upon receiving the report, Detectives were dispatched to the scene, and the victim’s body was taken to the General Hospital Ningi, where a Medical report confirmed that the baby had suffered severe injuries as a result of penetration, which led to her death.

“While condemning this heinous crime, the Commissioner of Police, CP *Auwal Musa Mohammed, has directed the Divisional Police Officer to make extra efforts to apprehend the perpetrators and bring them to justice,” he added.

The Commissioner also called on parents and guardians to ensure the safety of their children and not to allow them to wander around the streets.
